AmV and SilverSlnith.

Mr. George w. Irvine, H., manage of
the Amy and Silversmith, was asked Wv
they we're going to comply with the Hans
comb bill as to safeguards in sinking their
new shaft. His reply was that they are
waiting to see how that law applies to the
operations contemplated. Their plan
would be to sink with a bucket as usual
The intention of the law cannot be to
cripple the mining industry, which would
seem to be the case if the bonnet and
safety catch provision were compulsory
every time q new shaft is sunk. Besides
this, merely sinking shaft would not be
strictly mining, as the construction of the
term "where mining is carried on" would
be construed to mean mining for ore.

Its Provisions Explained-Clauses About
Passes.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Cullom
says the report that he will introduce bill
at the next session of Congress regulating
the telegraph system in manner similar to
that provided for the roads in the Inter-
State Commerce measure, is somewhat pre-
mature. He thinks that some Legislation
in that direction is necessary, and he in
tends to look into the matter, but he be-
lieves he has accomplished enough in the
Interstate Commerce bill to enable him to
rest while.
In regard to the alleged discovery of a
clerical error in the Interstate Commerce
bill, by which one section was enacted in a
form different from that intended, Mr.. Cul-
lom says that be does not see that the
point raised can effect heintention of Con-
gress. The error alleged was one OF trans
position of clauses. In the bill agreed upon
in conference, the clause referring to mile
age, excursion or communication pass tickets
read: Nothing in this act shall be con-
strued to prohibit the issuance of mileage.
ETC., but in the final copying and revision
of the bill
TWO CLAUSES WERE MIXED
SO that this provision appeared as follows:
Nothing in this act shall apply to the is
suance OF mileage, excursion or commuta-
ton tickets
The discOverers of the difference claim
that in the former wording the exemption
was limited, but in the latter it is un-
limited. Senator Cullom says he cannot
see where this can make an difference in
the application Of the law, other pcrt!ons
